Wiz Khalifa is the future of hip hop with his unquie style, and melo sounds. Eventhrough he's the new face of hip hop but most people look at him as an underground artist.For the past year he has featured on alot of the well known rappers songs, and took blog by the strom as well as having the most played videos on youtube. He's mostly slept on wiht the radio station and in
the in dusrty, but i have a feeling that in 2011 the whole world will know Pittsburgh on Wiz Khalifa.
"Uhuh u know wat it is everything i do.. i do it big unhuh scream that nothing when i pull off the lot stuntin rippin my town when u see me u know wat it is Black and Yellow Black and Yellow "
My overhyped artist is Nicki Minaj. Eventhrough she has set a trend and changed the face of hip hop for the female, but I feel soon that will faid out and Nicki will be no more. The world love her style but i dont think she can rap and eventually the people will see that she cant as well. See hip hop is about real rap, songs that mean something and her songs dont have that in them. So in the future I think Nicki Minaj wont be around.... sorry to her fans
MY 2nd Overhyped
Soulja Boy is very overhyped but is is very well know n hip hop. Everybody knows he wont be around, because I feel he still have that crank that soulja boy sound (remember that). Im surpise he made it this far, now I give it to him he's a very smart person when it come down to pushin his music, but he's not at all lyrically rounded. So as well as Nicki Minaj He wont be around in the future..... I think..lol.
"Get out the way pretty boy coming through me n my crew we swagging in the room girls on me heavy cuz i look so sexy yellow diamond short man my chest just flexin im lookin for a yellow bone long hair satr thick in the hip come get in my car u party with a star we take off n go to mars pretty boy take in 5,4,3,2,1 Pretty Boy Swag"
When I was young me and my mama had beef Seventeen years old kicked out on the streets Though back at the time, I never thought I'd see her face Ain't a woman alive that could take my mama's place Suspended from school; and scared to go home, I was a fool with the big boys, breakin all the rules I shed tears with my baby sister Over the years we was poorer than the other little kids And even though we had different daddy's, the same drama When things went wrong we'd blame mama I reminice on the stress I caused, it was hell Huggin on my mama from a jail cell And who'd think in elementary? Heeey! I see the penitentiary, one day And runnin from the police, that's right Mama catch me, put a whoopin to my backside And even as a crack fiend, mama You always was a black queen, mama I finally understand for a woman it ain't easy tryin to raise a man You always was committed A poor single mother on welfare, tell me how ya did it There's no way I can pay you back But the plan is to show you that I understand You are appreciated
-- Tupac's message through this song was to let his fans know his struggles, and to let his mother know that he loved her no matter what. This song goes to show that even though he was living the "good life" he had came a long way to get there. This song will forever be one of the best songs in history simply because Tupac is one of the greatest.
While I'm watchin every nigga watchin me closely my shit is butter for the bread they wanna toast me I keep my head, both of them where they supposed to be Hoes'll get you sidetracked then clap from closed feet I don't sleep, I'm tired, I feel wired like codeine, these days a brother gotta admire me from four fiends away My pain wish it was quick to see, from sellin 'caine til brains was fried to a fricassee, can't lie At the time it never bothered me, at the bar gettin’ my thug on properly, my squad and me lack of respect for authority, laughin’ hard Happy to be escapin’ poverty, however brief I know this game got valleys and peaks, expectation for dips, for precipitation we stack chips, hardly The youth I used to be, soon to see a mill'in No more, Big Willie my game has grown prefer you call me William Illin for revenues, Rayful Edmonds like channel 7 news, round seven Jews, hand gettin the mic Forgettin’ all I ever knew, convenient amnesia I suggest you call my lawyer, I know the procedure Lock my body can't trap my mind, easily explain why we adapt to crime I'd rather die enormous than live dormant that's how we on it Live at the main event, I bet a trip to Maui on it Presidential suites my resedential for the weekend Confidentially speakin in codes since I sense you peekin The NSX rental, don't be fooled my game is mental We both out of town dog, what you tryin to get into?

Can I live?
My mind is infested, with sick thoughts that circle like a Lexus, if driven wrong it's sure to hurt you Dual level like duplexes, in unity, my crew and me commit atrocities like we got immunity You guessed it, manifested in tangible goods Platinum Rolexed it, we don't lease we buy the whole car, as you should My confederation, dead a nation, EXPLODE on detonation, overload the mind of a said patient When it boils to steam, it comes to it we all fiends gotta do it, even righteous minds go through this True this, the streets school us to spend our money foolish Bond with jewelers and, watch for intruders I stepped it up another level, meditated like a Buddhist Recruited lieutenants with ludicrous, dreams of gettin’ cream let's do this, it gets te-di-ous So I keep one eye open like, C-B-S, ya see me stressed right? Can I live?
Wocka Flocka to me is a very overhyped rapper. his first hit, "O lets do it" ,is just another "chant" club song with a catchy chantable chorus which is smply the title of the song repeated about seven or eight times.Most of Woca Flocka's songs are similari n nature and have really no substance difference and speaks about him accuireing money, how great he thinks he is what type of cars he has ect.Wocka Flocka has the type of rapping style that makes non hiphop listeners really think hiphop is ninsese and " just ignorance"outside of his isngs woca floca has no "proffesional persona" like T.I. or lil wayne it seems liek hes Woca flocka all the time not Juaquin Malphurs.
I fucked my money up, damn Now I can't re-up Ran off in his spot just to get stacks up Now I'm back on deck, So shawty what the fuck you want Heard he talkin shit but this aint what the fuck he want Locked my CEO up Now it's back to coka
2. Cali Swag District this group is far from original. This four boy crew can be easily mistaken for other four-boy-groups such as the "new boys" ,"Cash Camp" or solja boys SOD Money Gang { Group of four boy rappers including solja boy } and have a similar rapping style and music. thier single " teach me how to dougie" was preceeded by Rapper Lil Wil's song "my dougie" both dsongs featuring a dance move called the "dougie".like lil Wil this song brings cali swag district much fame but i doubt they will be able to compete long term in the hip hop industry
Put your arms out front, lean side to side They gona be on you when they see you hit dat dougie right? Aint nobody fuckin wit my bro from morningside He go by bubba and he hit dat dance wit thunder I aint from dallas but I d-town boogie I show my moves off and everybody tryna do me I leave da function and all da ladies tryna screw me You just do you and ima do me(all day)
artists who will be even biggeri n the future
1. Nicki Minaj Although nicki Minaj us deemed simply a copycat of lil kim i feel shestill had some originality to herto her style of rapping as well has her personal image.Every song she does is highly anticipared ande even though you may not be able to follow what she is saying in majority of her raps most of her fans dont seem to mind. i respect nicki and i am always pleased to see whatever new fangled hair and outfit she has in her videos.even the rumor that some of her body parts are fake [her breasts her butt, her calves ect] that seems to not deter away fans it seems to make her more entitled to call her self a barbie doll. considering the controvery of barbies measerurements are impossible to achieve. a actual human being couldnt fuction because of severe back and health peoblems.the idea of being a "barbie" say emperial perfection and power .
i couldnt really find a song that i felt had extremely awesome lyrics but her section on the somg "Monster" with Kanye west was interesting. i couldnt pick just eight bars i liked the whole verse so i picked two eight bar segments.
Pull up in the monster automobile gangster with a bad b-tch that came from Sri Lanka yeah I'm in that Tonka, colour of Willy Wonka you could be the King but watch the Queen conquer ok first things first I'll eat your brains then I'mma start rocking gold teeth and fangs cause that's what a muthaf-cking monster do hairdresser from Milan, thats the monster do monster Giuseppe heel that's the monster shoe
forget barbie f-ck nicki she's fake she's on a diet but my pockets eating cheese cake and I'll say bride of Chucky is Child's play just killed another career it's a mild day besides 'Ye they can't stand besides me I think me, you and Am [Amber Rose] should menage friday pink wig thick ass give em whip lash I think big get cash make em blink fast
2. kanye west
though Kanye had a drawback with the tailor swift incident it seems like hes come back with a vengence with hit singles "Monster", Power" and "Runaway"all released this year. i found it different for him to take the song "runaway" and turn it into somethign of a short movie. When he perfomed "power on SNL {saturday night live} he used about three dozen ballerinaswho did very difficult interperative dance moves a new spin on half naked video girls gyrating provcatively with next to no clothes on.when kanye came out he was dubbed nothing more than a "sampler" and was said to be un original as far as his choice of beats which at that time were mostly sampled older songs.i wouldnt be surprosed to see kanye still around and become a timeless rap fugure like jay z. one of my favorite songs from Kanye was touch the sky these are the bars i chose that i thought were most powerful.
Dog, I was having nervous breakdowns, Like "Damn, these niggas that much better than me?" Baby, I'm going on an airplane, And I don't know if I'll be back again. Sure enough, I sent the plane tickets, But when she came to kick it, things became different. Any girl I cheated on, sheets I skeeted on. I couldn't keep it home, I thought I needed a Nia Long. I'm trying to write my wrongs, But it's funny these same wrongs helped me write this song. Now,
my favorite song is "life goes on" by tupac. it was on his double cd album all eyes on me. i love Pac music. he wrote this song for people like me. i really felt this song. i have lost alot of friends and family to death or jail. i really love the second verse, he spoke from the heart on this one. i love the part when he say "eyes blurry saying goodbye at the cemetary". i think he used blurry because he know we are so used to loosing a love one that our eyes dont cry any more. they only get blurry. R.I.P. to all we lost and keep your head up for all who are behind bars. no video for this song but here is the post.

"The beautiful thing about hip-hop is it's like an audio collage. You can take any form of music and do it in a hip-hop way and it'll be a hip-hop song. That's the only music you can do that with." ~Talib Kweli
"A certain administration which I won't call by name took the arts out of the schools, and that left the brothers out on the street with nothing, so they went to the turntables and started rhyming. Then they had a way to express themselves, and that's the birth of hip-hop." ~Isaac Hayes
"Don't you want to know what's real and what's not? I remember when I was a kid, you know, this whole Cold War thing. They had us scared of the Russians. So, it's almost like, what's real and what's not?" ~Queen Latifah
"We used to talk about wanting to get some money, but that's when hip-hop was based on your dreams and your fantasy. The whole thing now is the dreams and fantasies were achieved, and you don't want to make it the focal point. You can't keep beating that dead horse." ~Puff Daddy
"I'm forever learning and that's why I'm always able to create new styles and new dimensions of hip-hop." ~Doug E. Fresh
"Hip-Hop isn't just music, it is also a spiritual movement of the blacks! You can't just call Hip-Hop a trend! "~Lauryn Hill

"Racism is still with us. But it is up to us to prepare our children for what they have to meet, and, hopefully, we shall overcome." ~Rosa Parks
"A nation that continues year after year to spend more money on military defense than on programs of social uplift is approaching spiritual doom." ~Martin Luther King, Jr.
"And in my own life, in my own small way, I've tried to give back to this country that has given me so much. That's why I left a job at a law firm for a career in public service, working to empower young people to volunteer in their communities. Because I believe that each of us - no matter what our age or background or walk of life - each of us has something to contribute to the life of this nation." ~Michelle Obama
"After a century of striving, after a year of debate, after a historic vote, health care reform is no longer an unmet promise. It is the law of the land." ~Barack Obama
"Courage is the most important of all the virtues, because without courage you can't practice any other virtue consistently. You can practice any virtue erratically, but nothing consistently without courage." ~Maya Angelou
1)Lil Wayne: Regardless of what you may think, Lil Wayne is all hype. People are now speaking of Lil Wayne as a “great” rapper, but the truth is, great rappers have a catalog with classic material and Lil Wayne has yet to produce a classic album. I will give Lil Wayne his props for being the hardest working man in all of Hip-Hop, you can’t turn on the radio without hearing one of his records, but the hype around his music is simply not justifiable. Making dope mixtapes does not mean as much as composing a great album, and before we can call him great he has to be able to construct an album that we can talk about in the same breath as “Illmatic”, “Ready to Die”, “Reasonable Doubt” and “The Low End Theory” . I pose the question, what makes this man so great beside punch-lines? Lil Wayne has not earned his stripes to be considered great, and although fans anticipate his releases, many of them are often disappointed in the final output. Lil Wayne is overrated!
2)Memphis Bleek: Jay-Z told everyone on “Hard Knock Life” that Bleek was going to be a good rapper, a new and improved Jay-Z….weren’t we all fooled. For the average fan every time Memphis Bleek released an album we all hoped it was going to be decent because you clearly wanted to root for him, but Bleek could just never stand on the pedestal that Jay-Z put him on. His one hit record (Is That Your Chick) was overshadow by the appearance of Jay-Z, and there just isn’t much growth since his debut album. Four albums in and nothing to show for it. We can always look on the bright side, he’s still just one hit away.
FEMALE OVER HYPED RAPPERS.
Nicki Minaj &/Vs Lil'Kim: The mainstream debut of Lil Wayne's protegee Nicki Minaj brings the perennial question to the forefront of hip-hop consciousness once again: what is the role of women in the rap game? While Minaj is tearing up the airwaves, appearing on everything from Mariah Carey's Up Out My Face to Ludacris's My Chick Bad, the self-described "Harajuku Barbie" has captured the imagination of a generation that hasn't seen a dominant, prolific female rapper since the heyday of Lil Kim and Foxy Brown.
Minaj may be hyped as the latest leading lady of rap but, as hip hop has become more mainstream, the shift in expectations of women has led to a new reality: a successful female artist must not only be talented, but also able to titillate the gaze of an assumed male viewer. Earlier MCs such as MC Lyte, Queen Latifah, Monie Love, Queen Pen, Da Brat, and Roxane Shante had far more options for onscreen representation, often appearing in the types of clothes their male contemporaries were wearing.
I've been a fan of rap since I was young, and throughout the years I've noticed that female rappers are very hard to come by. The ones that are popular/famous are talentless. Examples are Lil Kim, Nicki Minaj, Trina, Foxy Brown, and lets not forget Jackie O. I will admit at one point I was a fan of FOxy Brown, but the other girls are just over hyped their success is based more on whose ass is fatter. Where did the real female mc's go? I can only name a few that I thought were really talented and deserved their success. Lauryn Hill, MC Lyte, Queen Latifah, Missy (earlier years), and Left Eye.
My seceond choice for an over hyped rapper is Lil wayne. In his song "got Money" the words he uses in his music to describe African American women are slowly becoming more and more unacceptable. His behavior has also got him into trouble so he will soon become a hip-hop rapper from the past.
Bitch aint shit but a hoe and a trick But you no one aint trickin' if you got it You know we ain't f**king if you not thick And i cool your ass dow if you think you're hot shit
So Rolex watch this I do it 4 5 6 my click clack goes the black hoe pimp and just like it blow that shit Caase bitchI'm the bomb like tick tick
T. I. is one of the over-hyped rappers who's fame will not be relivant to the hip-hop era because of his own self destructive behavior. He indeed has had his spotlight time but its coming to an end.
Since the beginning of time, culture has been apart of everything we do. It's all about how we live, learn, and grow, and what we can provide. Many different ethnic backgrounds celebrate life threw music, art, and religion in order to keep the ethnic tradition alive. Because culture is so in depth it relates to everyday life, it's what do with our time, and how well we survive. Learning, living and customs is why we have culture.

All kids need is a little help, a little hope and somebody who believes in them.
I made decisions that I regret, and I took them as learning experiences... I'm human, not perfect, like anybody else.
Each person must live their life as a model for others.
Everybody's just been spilling their guts all over records and talking about how hard it is to be an entertainer and how much we get hated on and what we have to go through. But I ain't really got it that bad. I'm just happy to be here. And I learned a lot from working with this kid, and I think he's gonna be a big star. Remember the name, Tim Dark, because he has something about his voice that's different from all the other rappers, even though his style is similar. I think it's a lame excuse for a lot of these rappers to say they only call girls bitches or hos because they act like that. It doesn't make them right.
I would suggest that teachers show their students concrete examples of the negative effects of the actions that gangsta rappers glorify. Everything negative - pressure, challenges - is all an opportunity for me to rise. we can change the world unless we change our selves.
You set yo-self on fire... you're still not as hot as me
